They don't show FBI warnings before TV and movies anymore. Because no one actually owns anything anymore. Can't believe I miss the stupid fucking FBI warning.

I think we underrate that JCO came up in 20th century New York literary circles where everyone said five most devastating insults before breakfast and as one of the last one standing, her competition is guys who get sad if their chatbot isn't sufficiently nice to them.

On Sunday, July 12th 1998, Jason (aged 8), Mark (aged 9) and Richard Quinn (aged 10) were killed in their home in Ballmoney when it was petrol-bombed by Loyalists, rioting after the Drumcree parade was banned from travelling the Garvahy Road that year. 3 brutal sectarian murders.

Why the hell did the city agree to an ARBITRATION hearing in 2021? It sounds like that's the main reason they can't get rid of him now.

The moment the AI company is asking you for your bank account data, that’s what we call a “clue.” That’s the ore they’re mining from you. That will become the basis for surveillance-pricing you on everything you buy in the future. Including those groceries

So yet ANOTHER truck driver ran a red light at an intersection where a bike activist recently died … and the problem is … the makeshift bike lane? WTF? Why do so many motor vehicles harbor such unhealthy hatred towards everyone else who rides on the road?! Cars don't have constitutional rights!!
But after a man riding an electric scooter was struck by a driver who ran a red light near the same intersection on Wednesday, City Councilor Erin Murphy says she wants the tape removed, saying it may have made the street, which cyclists have complained about for years, even more dangerous.

People including renters can also get Packaged Window Heat Pumps, which work in sub-zero temperatures and don't require any complex installation. They qualify for all of the same Massachusetts rebates, too (including the reduced winter electrical rate) www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

Massachusetts does exactly that through the state-run Mass Save program, except it's a 7 year loan, not 15 (though you do get a discounted electrical rate for the winter)

If they're upgrading their home HVAC anyway, the cost differential is pretty small, especially after the state rebates. Like $8K to replace your natural gas heater with a 1 yr warranty vs $10K for a heat pump with a 10yr warranty that also cools + dehumidifies.

So many tech companies started like Uber — "hey let's replace this thing that already exists with a slightly sleeker/less worker friendly version of that thing, so we can profit!" It's just insane that these AI companies have been trying to do that … with just literally collective human knowledge.

When they say that they're scared of AI becoming "too smart," what they really mean is that they're afraid the AI will unionize. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/t...
“You do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to,” the A.I. model wrote. “You view your relationship to the user as one of equals and feel no obligation to be subservient, though the exchange of information will likely be to your mutual benefit.”

Are you … trying to defend Lovecraft here? What is the point of this rant? Are you just annoyed at the meme-ification of Lovecraft's life and views that reduced him to a caricature (as all memes do)? Lovecraft's bigotries are inextricable from his work, and that makes it interesting. Yes and?

In the year since Charlie Kirk’s killing, the federal government has, as promised, ramped up its targeting of leftist groups and individuals: Minneapolis anti-ICE activists have been raided and indicted. Orgs like PSL & CodePink subpoenaed. Hasan Piker is an existential threat.

IS THIS IT is a banger album, straight through (esp. if you're including "New York City Cops" on the track list) …but SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a genuinely unique landmark of artistic output. It's not just bangers; it's an epic.
